Design and Implementation of an IoT Based Biofloc Monitoring System

Biofloc technology has gained prominence in aquaculture for its sustainable approach to waste decomposition and nutrient-rich microbial floc production. To ensure optimal conditions within Biofloc systems and maximize productivity, this study introduces a novel smart Biofloc monitoring system integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT). Our research centers on developing and implementing an IoT-based Biofloc monitoring system capable of real-time data collection and analysis. Specialized sensors continuously measure and track key environmental parameters, including water temperature, pH levels, and ammonia concentration. These data are efficiently transmitted through an IoT network and made accessible via the ThingSpeak server and dedicated Android applications. The presented Biofloc monitoring system provides aquaculturists with a comprehensive tool for maintaining ideal conditions, thereby improving yield and sustainability. With instant access to crucial environmental data, this IoT-enabled system empowers users to make informed decisions, take prompt corrective actions, and promote efficient Biofloc management practices.
